To wish I had a NDE and ask about yours?

[pizzayum]

I'm a little bit obsessed by reading about NDE experiences

I really would love to have one

If you've had one, what happened?

[pizzayum]

Nobody?

[5foot5]

NDE?

[Cornettoninja]

Near death experience? Can't say it's a position I would like to put myself in to experience...

Have you looked into lucid dreaming? Much safer although not really the same thing. Still very wooooo though.

[pizzayum]

Yes I have tried lucid dreaming but unsuccessfully

I'm not going to try and have an NDE or anything

Just wish I knew what happened at death

[5foot5]

Near death experience?

But that would make the last "E" redundant. Near Death Experience experience.

And if it is that why on earth would you want to be in a position where you were "near death"!!

[PavlovianLunge]

But that would make the last "E" redundant. Near Death Experience experience.

Like PIN number and TSB Bank, both of which irritate me more than they should.

[Cornettoninja]

But that would make the last "E" redundant. Near Death Experience experience

Hmm fair point 🤔

[DalekDalekDalek]

Yeah, nearly dying sounds awesome! Not something that would traumatise you at all.

[MonaChopsis]

I did... All pain stopped, vision dwindled to circles (did feel like I was at the far end of an ever-lengthening tunnel). Sounds became muffled then stopped altogether, and it was all very calm and I felt very removed.

Then I came to in A&E after being given a shot of adrenaline and calm was no longer the order of the day!

[TolchockLovelyInTheLitso]

You don't want one Pizza. It's horrible. The very definition of powerless and impotent.

[Cornettoninja]

Missed your reply there op.

Well I suppose it is at least something we're all going to find out one day.

My favourite theory on life after death is Andy Weir's An Egg

[pizzayum]

I don't know

@MonaChopsis one sounds rather peaceful until the coming to part

[MonaChopsis]

Yes the nearly dying part was far less traumatic than the being brought back to life part, although obviously in retrospect I'm quite glad I did that bit too

[pizzayum]

@Cornettoninja I can't read that the text comes up so small but will google and have a nose

@MonaChopsis see that's what I'm jealous of... experiencing what it might be like but coming back. Did you lose your fear of death through it?

[MessyBun247]

I haven’t had one but I enjoy reading about them

I have had quite a few lucid dreams though.

[pizzayum]

The ones I find myself particularly wishing for are ones where they get told to go back as they have a purpose or work to do yet etc

How cool would that be to know your reason for existing!

[falsepriest]

Only happens to me approximately 11pm.

Sadly about 6am I appear to rise from the dead again.

[BillywigSting]

I've had one where I nearly drowned as a kid.

Panicked first, then felt very calm and sort of sleepy, vision and hearing were muted.

Then I got pulled out of the water and the searing pain in my chest quickly put an end to the calm while I coughed up what felt like most of a swimming pool.


Certainly not an experience I'd ever wish to repeat.

[pizzayum]

See the dying bit actually sounds lovely in comparison to the coming back part again @BillywigSting

Do you have any fear of death now?
